I am not able to show you how to attach it or remove it but I can say it was just held on with ratchet straps and I used these for many years.

I am so happy to hear that. It's worked great for me for a number of years and it was all made with scrap lumber and pieced today in an afternoon. I've see some people modify the design and make some nice metal hillers but believe me this will do everything you want it to do. Just remember to rototill the ground well first and then attach the hiller and make your final pass otherwise you won't get the same results.

@@philcrandlemire I wonder if I can make something similar to pull with my truck, our garden is 18ft wide and 300ft long so I wonder if I can use a pickup truck with low tire pressure and a 16ft long 2x 6 to make a path digger at least because digging pathways after using my 22 inch rototiller is work and if I can do it with a single pull of my truck in lowest gear slowly then that would be good for planting potatoes or I could make my beds by just taking the top flat. That way with 3 passes I would have 2 beds.

@@HealthSupercharger I guess what I would wonder is how to keep your path digger going straight. Maybe if you had someone behind holding it and guiding it -- like people did in the old days when plowing with horses. Also, I don't know why you would need a 16' 2X6 -- take a look at old time plows and such. Good Luck!

Hello Jon, if you can create an air gap between two layers of plastic then that would work but just putting one layer over another doesn't -- air is the insulation. Consider covering the plants at night with floating row covers -- that helps a lot. I am in Maine with weather not much different than certain parts of Canada and I would say it is impossible to have peppers, tomatoes, or anything that can not tolerate below freezing weather last through the winter. However, I've seen people doing creative things with homemade geothermal designs, passive solar and collecting heat in water barrels, huge compost plies that can lend passive heat to a greenhouse, and so on. I can say with certainty that I have had peppers and tomatoes last until Christmas in the greenhouse using row covers at night but other times we have had days and days of freezing weather that killed everything even in October -- very hard to predict the weather. All I can say is good luck and happy gardening.

So how wide are the 2 rows. Since you are starting from 6ft wide, do you make them 1.5ft wide each so you have 3ft of pathways and soil to move from to raise your beds as they are shaped.

Hi Jeff -- I am so happy to see that I am still inspiring folks to build their own hiller. I did nothing special other than what you saw in the video -- no skids on the frame. I think the ratchet straps take most of the pulling force when pulling it -- I have broken several. But my simple and basic hiller has lasted for years and years. Although now my farming much smaller than before and I don't hill my rows anymore except for a few that I just do with my Troybilt and that hiller attachment.

Hi Jackman Maine -- YES JD 750 -- it's the best thing I ever bought! What do you guys grow up there?

not growing anything yet but would like to, have been looking at tillers.

Yes I have and used that method for a few years. Total awesome and but it total sucks when you need to remove them and disposal -- it's a wicked hassle. But no weeds -- ha.

No

Yes music does, and I am surprised more people don't ask the same question. Depending on the crops you need to tune your music accordingly. Root crops like loud, heavy metal because it rocks the ground and loosens the soil so better root structure. And soft acoustical music for above ground crops -- and the more delicate crops I just hum lullabies until they sway in unison. Now take your sarcastic ass and go bother someone else because you are not as funny as you think you are!!!

I used 1" and 34" PVC Electrical Conduit and it bends and worked great. You will see many other people have used PVC electrical conduit for greenhouses -- it's perfect for a 12' wide greenhouse or hoop house I should say.

@@philcrandlemire appreciated answering to me.I shall try for that. Thanks a lot and keep it up.✌️

Lo siento, no hablo español y tampoco mis gatos.

Thank you so much Victoria -- I just happened to come up with the idea and it's worked great for me too -- happy planting -- I was just working in my greenhouse and transplanting tomatoes -- can't wait to get them into the ground. You might like this one I did on an affordable greenhouse idea kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4uwh61rq6eUarc

Thank you -- glad you liked it.

Then I guess you couldn't figure out the first part of the video. I don't know why you have to be purposely negative for no reason whatsoever -- you must be a very miserable person.

Glad you enjoyed it -- thank you.

Hi Bob -- there are a lot of possibilities you do -- you could even make a board with 4 or 5 thin sticks nailed to it to make several furrows at once for planting things like lettuce, etc. Or even get more inventive and build a wheel with a dimple attachment to mark spacing in the row. Believe me this simple hiller has been very useful over the years. Happy farming!!!

Just read down to my previous comments -- it's a really simple design that you can make for virtually nothing with scrap lumber and some nails and lag screws. Happy gardening!

It's all in the video -- I built this in a couple of hours using scrap lumber -- 2X8X4 for the sides. I explained the best I could in the video -- it's pretty basic.

It's 48" -- truthfully, I don't think you could run a 60" tiller. I run mine on 3rd low and it goes great but really heavy ground I go down to 1 low. Sometimes I can run 1 high in light soil but that's not often and really too fast for tilling the soil very well. Good luck.

Thanks Ralph -- it's people like you that motivated me to share what little I've learned in my years of "playing" in the garden. Hopefully more to come. I'm planning a new website that will be coming soon called www.LastFarmStanding.org to help encourage others to become small commercial farms or hobby farms and keep our American heritage of farming alive.
